Never thought of that for the pillows. The sofa pillow smaller can put into washing machine then to dryer.
This time of year, everything feels damp! I just put things in my dryer now and again to dry them up a bit. You could have tried with the pillows - low-heat for a few minutes can do wonders. -

Doing the patching with putty is not difficult. Not really hard labour.
Wow! No way I could do that. I'm hoping to do some reno to my flat next year. Won't think about it yet!
Painting the walls used to be a breeze which I do within 2 days & 2nd coating easier. Now, I split into doing 1 side per day, so it’s easier. If i start fr the top on ladder, take it easy & complete the top, those shoulder & waist height strokes are much easier. Prep work is impt. I lay plastic sheets on the grounds & tape all the sides & corners so I don’t hv to worry abt not painting a straight neat line.
Can finish if u look at the sense of achievement & how a fresh coat in yr home makes u feel clean. I’m abit sensitive to dusts around the house. -

I've never painted an entire wall! I prefer to pay someone to do it.

me too! a lot of prep work needed. The recommendation is to have a coat of sealant, before the paint goes on.
all I can manage is moving the furniture so that the painters can paint! haha. -

I’m like one of my British aunt. Somehow, painting for fresh feel is not daunting.

Every year she comes over at least 2-3 mths before CNY, she’ll paint her son’s bungalow room by room. One year, she completed all rooms inside the house, she then went outdoors climb to different parts to give the house a complete brush & all toast to her big job done for our celebration with her in SG. She appreciates the family bonding in Asia once a year but she left this legacy of fearless hardwork.
So far, I’ve painted entire at least 3 times in my lifetime. This time, it’s only the living room. I don’t think I’ll ever paint any walls after this year. -

Yes. Typically, will always clean the walls 2 rounds, scrap off any uneven surfaces, cracks, etc before patching then sealant & paint. This year, no choice due to small job & I’ve skipped alr the usual & just paint as we’re taking back one apartment after tenancy ends. Yes, will let the ID do all the full works incl painting works.

Wah... now I'm inspired to paint my bathroom ceiling by myself!
No choice coz the contractor cld hv done a bad job or whether or age causes flakes. Not easy to get contractors to do small jobs now. So mobilize my young man along. Age caught up alr. I can’t do much painting like i used to before i went overseas to study. Can even do ceiling back then.
I believe I can... I believe I can... (psychoing myself

Ceiling is not easy. But you can de la, slowly lor. Careful of height. Dont overstretch yourself. I did that more than 10years ago and I will try not to do it again. Let it stay white, no color is ok.
